Identify the formula for net force.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force () acting on an object is equal to the product of its mass () and acceleration ().
Substitute the given values into the formula.
Given mass and acceleration .
Calculate the net force.
The magnitude of the net force is .

Identify the given values and the principle of moments.
For the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of clockwise moments must equal the sum of counter-clockwise moments about the pivot.
Given:
Distance of boy from pivot () = 2 m
Distance of man from pivot () = 1.5 m
Weight of man () = 600 N
Acceleration due to gravity () = 10 m/s²Calculate the moment due to the man.
The man creates a clockwise moment.
Apply the principle of moments to find the boy's weight.
For equilibrium, the boy's counter-clockwise moment must equal the man's clockwise moment.
Calculate the boy's mass.
Weight is related to mass and gravity by the formula .
The mass of the boy is .
